Yes, I agree! I also was referred to a rheumatologist for testing and diagnosis.

I had to get a rheumatologist involved but that was a feat in itself. Why do we have to work so hard to get help when we are exhausted? I just don't have all this energy.

I was diagnosed after many years of MRIs CT scans Xrays and blood tests over a period of years trying to identify cause of chronic migraines by my GP doctor.

After a long time...a rheumatologist finally. It took many appointments.

It is so hard to get a referral to a rheumatologist accepted by them here. I have been denied by the rheumatologist for an appointment twice. I’m going to try to go to an orthopedic doctor next. Cross your fingers.
